2-Star Hotels in Dauin

The hotel is very cozy! It has small, but great rooms, and you can just walk like 50 m and then you are on the beach. The beach is really nice as well. Here you can enjoy swimming and snorkeling without going on a boat. The hotel area at the beach is also very nice with a lot of seating area, and they also have chairs and some sun beds you can bring with you. At the hotel they have a great restaurant, and they even serve you down at the beach! :) The food is so great, you actually don’t have to go somewhere else. They have Asian food and western food and a lot more, and it’s really good. The staff at the hotel is really great and helpful, and make you feel really welcome. We would definitely go back! The only negative thing is if you leave any food in you’re room, it will be infested by a lot of ants. So be careful with that :)

friendly staffs, very accomodating.. I love to recommend this place for your stay.. me and my son really had a great time..

Hotel environment is very good, breakfast is relatively simple, there is a spa center to make an appointment, lunch and dinner are eaten at the hotel, the price is not expensive, tastes good. From the hotel to the apo island, the tutu car gave 200 pesos. The driver should be very satisfied. He also asked to leave the phone to pick up the boat. He went to the apo island to charter 3000 pesos. After boarding the ship, he also collected the life jacket, the island fee, the snorkeling fee, etc. 300 pesos.

The hotel is beyond imagination, very good, located on the coast of Dauin, with a beautiful sunrise, suitable for quiet travel and diving~ The owner of this hotel is the landlord of Walker Diving~ By the way, I strongly recommend the owner of Traveler Diving, Sun^_ ^ We went to live on July 30, 23. At first we thought we only booked a room, but we found out that we had booked the entire hotel. Later, we found out that we had contracted the entire beach🏖️, because there were very few people who had just resumed tourism, and other hotels around It's not open yet, so there are few people and the scenery is good~ The price of a sea view room is around 400, including double breakfast, which is definitely more than 3,000 in China, which is simply unimaginable! The quiet scenery is good, it can't be better. Facilities: The bed is clean and tidy, and the sleeping is very comfortable. There is no hair dryer, and the shower water is slightly smaller, but the showers here are all small. Hygiene: Staff clean and make beds every day Environment: Full score 💯! Service: Very good, very enthusiastic~ If you eat breakfast early, you can tell the staff the day before~

I'm conflicted by my stay here, so I'll just lay out the pros and cons. Pros: Absolutely great dive shop. First and foremost, thank you to Gabby who was my divemaster for all my dives. He is phenomenal and a huge asset to Mike's. Jonathan who manages the diving also provided good service. The rental gear was in excellent condition except for the booties which have seen better days but got the job done. They took me and one other guy to Apo island which I do not think is a profitable trip for them with just 2 customers, but they knew how much time we had at Mike's and made it work for us. Gabby also took me out on a solo night shore dive (which was incredible). Not all dive shops will do this. Corri who manages Mike's also provided excellent customer service. She responded promptly to my emails and then gave me her number so I could Whatsapp her to coordinate a transfer from the ferry. And then after I had an issue with my A/C (see below), she thanked me for saying something so I told her all my complaints as they happened (nothing in this review will be a surprise to them), and she did her very best to resolve them. She never once blamed me as being high maintenance, at least not to my face. And really, I'm not high maintenance. Mike's just has some issues that it needs to address. The wifi was really good and it worked in my room. This is a big deal and a rarity in the Philippines when you get outside the big cities. Mixed: Mike's restaurant has a fairly large menu, and there's a full page of Mexican foods as Mike himself is from California, where I lived for many years. I had the seafood burrito and it was bad. The seafood itself was fine although perhaps not the kinds I would expect to see in a seafood burrito, but ingredient availability plays into that. The real issue is that the flavor was well off. Now perhaps I was foolish to get Mexican food in the Philippines, but I think that if you put something on your menu, you should be proud of it, and this dish was not something to be proud of. Corri did tell me that she and Mike were going to order the seafood burrito the next day and reevaluate it, so again I appreciate her taking my complaint seriously. On the other hand, I had one of the Filipino soup dishes (I can't remember the name) and it was tasty. The breakfasts were also good. So food is a mixed bag, and perhaps you'll be fine if you stick to breakfast and Filipino food. Cons: The biggest con by far is that the bed is uncomfortable. The mattress is a 3 inch piece of soft foam. That simply doesn't cut it. As a side sleeper, my hips were hitting the slats below. Corri again took my complaint seriously and brought me a second mattress to put on top of the first. This helped but these mattresses are so soft, it's still not conducive to a good night's sleep. I stayed in several other places across the Philippines during my trip, including places significantly cheaper than Mike's, and all of my mattresses

If you are on a budget this is the place for you. Room rates are fairly cheap with only breakfast included. The menu has limited options so we walked down the beach to Atlantis Resort for several meals during our stay here. We stayed in an ocean view room #11 with two beds. The A/C worked really well. Room service is hit or miss if you can find any staff in the evenings. We waited two days before anyone came to clean our room and had to ask for clean towels and pool towels. Even then the reception staff wanted to know why we needed more than two towels. We had to explain there is no shower door or curtain to keep water from going all over the small bathroom so we need to use the towels to sop up the water. After the third day we went on a search for toilet paper and found some in a cabinet for our room. There is a mini fridge and tea kettle in the room and the dive shop owners (Critter Republic) took us to the Sunday market where we purchased some awesome food for the rest of our stay. On our last full day here we noticed a door sign that reads “please clean room” that we apparently overlooked when we checked in. It would have been nice if the receptionist mentioned, upon check in, you needed to request to have the room cleaned. I guess as Americans we take things for granted and just expect it to be done every day. Finally, We stayed here specifically to dive with Critter Republic. If I knew Critter Republic was just 200 feet down the beach from Atlantis Resort we would have just stayed there and took a couple days to dive with CR and saved ourselves the trouble.

Awesome. Just eat can only eat at the hotel. To eat seafood dinner, you have to take a 20-minute car to the center. There are not many choices for the hotel to eat, but it tastes good.
